My Spymaster will be a little AU, and there is new AU version about timeless child as well.

NOW

Twelve felt numb. He didn't feel anything, even his backache.

Spymaster chose a secluded place in the forest. It wasn't far away, but it took ages to transport Twelve there (or rather Ten and Eleven spent a longer time in carrying him), but at last - they arrived and he was sat in a wooden chair among trees. Doctor's back didn't took it well. Thankfully, the time lord also got a pillow, which somehow eased his pain, but they still didn't make it to vanish completely.

However, after hearing Spymaster's story about the destruction of Gallifrey, the timeless child, a mysterious being, which actually originated the whole time lords dynasty and the child's identity, he felt paralyzed.

"You lie." Twelve said aloud to all Masters standing before the Doctor group. "It's impossible that such being has ever existed, especially that I'm it."

"Sorry, I planned to show you it in Matrix, but unfortunately something got in the way." Spymaster mocked. "Believe me, I really would like it to be a lie, but it isn't."

"But it doesn't make sense, my life is... why I can't remember anything?"

"I repeat - It was erased, so you could start the new cycle with a clean state." he insisted. "Focus, deep down, you must feel that something is wrong."

Twelve glanced at Thirteen, who also had a hard time adjusting to the truth (he didn't know why, but he also looked at Missy, who remained icily frozen), a similar distraught emotions could be seen on faces of Ten and Eleven, but the Doctor...

"No." the youngest of time lords said.

"What?"

"No, I don't feel anything. I'm bewildered why it should make me behave differently or it makes you so distraught."

"What are talking about!?" Thirteen shouted frustrated. "There is something, which gives me a headache whenever I want to reach it."

"No, there isn't." Doctor replied calmly and next sentence directed to Spymaster. "Do you want us to be confused? It may work on my older regenerations, but not on me. Actually, I have other question. Are you the oldest from your group? Or should we see how the burn on your back healed to check it?"

"I don't see why I should matter, when the story is about YOU." he spat the last word.

"Probably, it seems insignificant, when comparing to our origin, but it still sounds important."

Spymaster looked at Master, who shrugged, then to Missy, who just nodded and added some stereotypical comment about a woman and her age.

"To answer your question, I'm not." he replied. "She is."

"WHAT?! HOW?" Lady Doctor shouted again. "She was with Twelve, she ... Oh no, we met in the wrong order, did we?"

"Or in correct one, as some would say."

"Yes, that's true." Master reconfirmed. " In next regeneration, I'll still look dashing."

"But you also met my past self." Thirteen continued.

"Who doesn't remember me."

"I do now." Twelve suddenly spoke. "You impersonated a fresh MI6 agent, we had an adventure and we exchanged numbers. (Ten, Eleven, stop staring at me in that way!)"

"Yes, coincidently, you reminded yourself about me in your lady form. How many years have passed for you since then? Decades, I suppose. In any other situation, I should feel offended, but actually - I don't care right now."

"Fine, we met," Thirteen re-clarified him. "but Missy and Twelve spent months together..."

"Yeah, it's frustrating."

"... I admit, you're a great actor, but not such good to pretend that you weren't aware of my future for the whole time. Moreover, do you recall the incident with the dead changing into cyberman? You lived through it, thus you had to hear about Missy."

"Dumb as ever," female Master commented. "I did mentioned that I wasn't sure if between current me and the handsome Prime Minister ("Thanks, sis.") were some other boys around."

"The solution was simple." Spymaster continued. "MI6 and UNIT might not like each other, but they still shared some information. By that I realised that Missy will be my future regeneration, so logically I would need to wipe out my memories or something would cause it or someone would do it to me. Who knows maybe, it would be you." he shrugged. "Anyway, I will continue with my plots, you would be you and I will get to destroy some planets on the way. Especially, one particular."

"Gallifrey didn't deserve it." Lady Doctor berated him.

"Not from my point of view." he spat. "Not when your DNA is in me and in every time lord in existence."

"You selfish... wait a moment, if you're a regeneration before Missy, how did you know that I was at Gallifrey at all? It's locations was hidden from me."

"UNIT's records. Of course, they could be invalid, but your reaction at Eiffel Tower confirmed them."

"It doesn't make sense." Doctor jumped in, before his lady self said another insult. "I was sent here to save Gallifrey, the Moment was clear about it, but...oh, yes. Timelines of four of you are mixed. Would it be possible that our home-world couldn't be actually destroyed? Have you, Spymaster, and Missy checked when exactly you visited it? Or as you stated that you found the truth in the Matrix, have you noted when other Masters were on Gallifrey?"

"You don't get it, don't you?" Spymaster laughed.

"Ugh, what is it this time? I'm tired of those games."

"Destroying it, successful or not, was just the bonus. The pure reward is you." he turned to Thirteen. "You're the latests Doctor and you HATE me."

Her eyes became stones.

"This you, will rememberer of what I'm capable. What's more, you won't forget, who told you about the timeless child. Maybe, it would be really hilarious, if Gallifrey would exist, because from now on - you would never be able to trust your own people. Wow, suddenly plenty of sick theories are born." he giggled. "I wonder who your parents are. What's more, your brother? Could it be that they never loved you and were just hired to watch you? Who were you in your past regenerations? A saviour? A killer? (That one would be interesting.) Is it possible that your mind was wiped as punishment? Did you have any family before this life? If yes, imagine if Rassilon himself was intentionally matching your descendants with other time lords to get the most pure lineage. Or maybe if any child was born, it was killed in the first place, but I doubt it. Your granddaughter lived long enough..."

"STOP IT!"

Thirteen jumped on him and there was needed a reaction from all time lords to separate them from each other.

"Why are you doing this!?" she asked among tears.

"Because you're the reason why I will die on this ship!"

ooo

BEFORE

It was suppose to be easy. Grab the Doctor. Go back to the Gallifrey. Show her the truth about the timeless child. Sit comfortably and enjoy watching her breaking down.

He found Doctor near the place, which was called as the Boundary and took her hand, but instead of being teleported to Gallifrey - there was a bang, then flash and suddenly Spymaster found himself looking at his female and Prime Mister reincarnation, who were as astonished as him. Oh, his shocked lady Doctor was there as well.

Later, Missy tried to kill him, somehow Ex-Prime Minister convinced her to not do it and his female self scared Doctor in running away.

In the end, it was Saxon Master, who decided to describe everything as best as he could. The colony ship. The cyberman. The Moment, which most probably caused the sudden appearance of two new time lords. Spymaster didn't take it well.

"Wow, he destroyed that tree almost with his bare hands." Master was nicely surprised. "I'll be so cool in the future."

"IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT! I HAD A PLAN!"

"Funny, me too." Missy yawned.

"Sis, why are you so bitter toward him?" Master asked. "OK, his plotting isn't going well ("I am here, you know!" new time lord shouted.), but he is still another clever and handsome version of us. And please don't say that it'd destroy the time continuity. We've already passed that. It can't get worse...hopefully..."

Missy told them everything. Then, Spymaster told them everything.

"F**k."

"I won't die here." Missy spoke emotionlessly.

"Listen, I also don't like it." Spymaster replied. "But of that I'm sure. Moreover, you're here because of Doctor. If not for him/her, all would be better. Why haven't you ran when you had a chance anyway?"

"Yeah, sis. I've been wondering about it as well. Your attitude has making me worried for all this time."

"Oi! Don't you jump on me now, or you will regret it." Missy threatened. "Why won't you ask me why I'm furious at the guy over there?"

"Why?" Master humoured her.

"Because I'm me because of him." she looked at Spymaster. "You did something, what gave me those emotions. Precisely, some about a certain time lord and you have no idea, how murderous I feel whenever I get a deja vu, but I can't point it to anything particular." Missy stepped dangerously close to him. "I will repeat my question - WHAT DID YOU DO!?"

"I've already told you everything what I know!" he didn't back down. "It's probably only your thing."

"My thing?" she quoted. "Trust me, it started even before you."

"Don't look at me." Master objected. "I only wanted a pet during that year and to kill Rassilon. That's all."

"Exactly." Spymaster agreed.

"Yep, yep, keep trying to delude yourselves." Missy sighed and her mood suddenly gloomed. "Anyway, it doesn't matter now. There is no Doctor, just some obnoxious individual with a outrageous number of lives."

"We need to get out of this ship." youngest time lord reminded. "Unfortunately, to do it, we would need to cooperate with Doctors or whomever they are."

"And make sure that Missy won't die." Spymaster added.

"I won't die here." the time lady insisted. "I'm tired of this joke, make a new one."

"Listen..."

"Haven't you heard her?" Master intervened before his future male self could say more. "She won't die here."

"Not you too..." the time lord complained. "Why are you on her side?

"She is prettier than you."

"Of course, I am." Missy brushed her hair.

"Seriously?" Spymaster raised an eyebrow doubtfully.

"Well, the truth is that Master decides how all will end." Ex-Prime Minister stated. "If I die that it's my choice. Not Cybermen's, not Daleks', not the bastard Rassilon or any of his followers, not that bloody Momen..."

To their astonishment, a thunder hit a tree next to them.

"I mean: not the oh so unique Moment creation..." he corrected himself with a pale face.

("That was close." Missy commentated, while hiding behind Spymaster.)

"Certainly, not the Doctor." Master finished. "It's me and only me. Do you get it now?"

ooo

NOW

"Oh, boy. He said too much." Missy muttered and smacked her younger self to show her displeasure.

"She dies, so it's my end as well." Spymaster repeated what he knew, while rubbing his head.

"...are you certain of it?" Twelve raised a little from his chair, again - not feeling any pain. He hoped that he would hear only one shocking and gruesome news, but unfortunately there was more and the day had not ended yet. "How have you found out this information?"

"Let's say that my sources are superb. I'm aware of day and place." the time lord reconfirmed. "We have less than a week and yes - It will happen at the deck 507."

"I won't die here." the dark-haired time lady stated.

"Who would do this?" Twelve asked Spymaster. "How?"

"He doesn't know." Missy answered before him."Junior did a good research, but this special information somehow was difficult to find."

"We're on the ship full of Cybermen, isn't it obvious?" Doctor pointed. "Thirteen, you were here before, can you tell us what you remember?"

"Umm... they left the settlement together," the time lady started. "They wanted to reach the elevator to lower levels and find Master's Tardis .Cyberman were moving up then, thus I believe that they had enough time to leave the ship safely..."

"Seriously? A mere cyberman army? Oh, come on, I'm worth more. Think again." Missy objected. "Who are our suspects? A rather short list: Doctor, his companions and settlers. All of them weak or not bloodthirsty."

"No," Ten suddenly said. "there is one more."

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry, but..." he turned to Master. "It's you."

"What?" Ex-Prime Minister laughed. "Are you nuts?"

"Because when Twelve looks at you, he actually doesn't see you. Because you are only a piece from his past." Ten explained with sad eyes. "You don't feel any connection to that me, who you met on the ship."

"And why would it matter?"

"Twelve could have never reached you, but he could have your future self."

"You're imagining a situation, which you have to get experience. You don't have all data to foresee the outcome."

"True, but I've spent time with you, Missy and Twelve."

In this moment, it was Master's resolve, which started crumbling.

"Bollocks. I would never do it." he disagreed. "Especially, to her."

"You could." it was Missy's warm palm on his, which make him silent.

Master shook his head, as if he could deny everting, but in the end he also knew that it was useless. They could be the same person, but there were some differences, so when the right moment would arise, it was very probable that they could not agree with themselves.

"You won't die here." Twelve said, while standing up with Ten supporting him. "I won't let it."

"Charming as it is, it doesn't depend on this you." Spymaster spatted.

"We moved far away from other important topic." Eleven had spoken for the first time. "Why my youngest self doesn't feel anything when the timeless child was mentioned? I realised one thing, Doctor comes from the time war, where everting was in flux. Civilizations appeared and vanished in seconds, many beings were born only because of an altered timeline. It makes me wonder if the timeless child could also be the result of it... and much more."

"The Moment gathered all of us here." Doctor reminded. "I believe that it is the proper time that we should be enlighten what is really going on."

"You're right." a new voice was heard among trees, which belonged to young blond haired woman.

"Rose?" Ten asked astonished. "Is that you?"
